Nedra's Theme

When presented with each new theme, I often initially reject the most obvious
ideas striving to be different. I had
that same desire when it was my turn for the theme choice. I wanted to pick something different. I thought about the previous themes – most of
them were nouns or verbs, some concrete, some abstract. No colors had been chosen. I thought it would be fun, and different, to
pick an adjective! How about a colorful adjective?? Drum roll
please, and thus your next theme is GREEN.
Many possibilities have come to mind over the last month or two as I
have considered the choice. I hope you
are equally inspired and enjoy working
with it. I look forward to seeing your
creative interpretations!

The Material Mavens

We are a group of art quilters who come from various parts of the United States, from the East coast and then south to Arkansas and Texas. We were inspired by the original Twelve by Twelve international art quilting group.

Beginning in September, 2011, we started posting our 12"x 12" art quilts, which were based on themes chosen in turn by our members. For Round One, we posted quilts every two months, always on the 15th of the designated months.

Round Two of The Material Mavens began in October, 2014. Some changes were made: quilts were posted every three months, and the quilts could be be either 12"x 12" or rectangular ones measuring 11" x 14", either horizontal or vertical in orientation.

Round Three of The Material Mavens will begin in July, 2018. Again, changes have been made. Now those members who wish to stay affiliated with the group are free to post quilts every time or every now and then. Two, our blog administrator collected suggested themes from the members who wanted to remain affiliated. These themes were then pulled at random from a "hat," and they were then assigned in order for the posting dates. Since we had 13 members who wanted to remain, we will be posting quilts every 3 months until 2021! This date is significant and appropriate, because 2021 will be the 10th year that our group has been in existence.
